Students will be able to: Present the self portrait and SM Logo projects to the class.  Each student will be reading the SMHS logo representation blogs they wrote explaining the design elements they chose in this exercise.

Self portrait project was the first project students completed in Photoshop.  Students were required to take their school photo (or a friend’s school photo) and create a characticture of the picture.  Students were then asked to erase the school background and add an image of choice behind the character.

Saint Mary Logo design was a project students were required to do in class. The students took the Saint Mary Logo and deleted the inside blue.  Students were then asked to recreate the body of the logo with elements that represent “what Saint Mary” means to them.  If you are someone that wants to know the love students have for this school, please look at these projects.  You will find them above in class order!  Enjoy!

***Please check out our student’s projects!  They uploaded their work as jpegs so you can see them.

Thank you,

Mrs. Fagan
